I am an Instructional Designer at Matoaca Middle school. I love working with Ts & Ss as we learn about mathematics. Hiking, walking, cycling in spare time.

Ts collab on Curve of Best Fit lesson. Used peer obs, virtual & face to face planning. Opening slide, I notice, I wonder. Ss feedback...POSITIVE. Ts stronger together! #CCPSTnL #ManchesterMiddleSchool #CCPS_Math @SarahFraher @MelSTrapani

@CurtisES_AP Agree. More opportunity for self-assessment

[Stephanie Burton @BurtonStep17]

Q2: Stiggins talks about Assessment FOR Learning. Ss collab with Ts to determine the next steps in their learning based on their interpretation of their results. Can we do this in the classroom? #leadccps

[Stephanie Burton @BurtonStep17]

Research has shown that it is impossible for once a year big stakes tests to give the instructional info we need to improve schools or student learning.#leadccps

[Stephanie Burton @BurtonStep17]

Stephanie Burton present. Much discussions with Ts today on how to use info from assessments. Ready to learn #leadccps

@JamieBarnes214 Honestly, the thought of eliminating grades is scary, so different, from what we do. However, assisting students to reach learning targets and master content is what every teacher wants to do. How?

[Stephanie Burton @BurtonStep17]

A4: Motivation increases if Ss know that the assessment is an indicator of where they are and not a final sentence. They need to have hope that they can still reach the target. #leadccps

[Stephanie Burton @BurtonStep17]

Stop expecting one score or grade to be an indicator of learning. This will be a change in thinking for all: Ss, Parents, teacher, community. #leadccps

[Stephanie Burton @BurtonStep17]

Q2: Clear expectations for why, what, and how we assess. Also, how we use what we learn to help students grow and achieve #leadccps

[Stephanie Burton @BurtonStep17]

Quality assessments that provide information that help us guide all students to achieve at their highest potential. #leadccps

[Stephanie Burton @BurtonStep17]

A1. Quality Assessments that provide information that help us guide ALL student to achieve at THEIR highest potential.

Stephanie Burton. I am a middle school math coach. #leadccps

[Stephanie Burton @BurtonStep17]

Meaty topic...can't wait to discuss #leadccps

[Stephanie Burton @BurtonStep17]

A3. Private schools often offer community events like plays, concerts, classes, seminars. Could our schools open the doors like that based on community needs? #leadccps

[Stephanie Burton @BurtonStep17]

A2. After modeling a lesson, unsuccessfully, the classroom T said she was relived that it was difficult for me as well. I was embarrassed but we both agreed we wouldn't give up. We are a team now. #leadccps

[Stephanie Burton @BurtonStep17]

A1: We must truly believe that all of our CCPS students deserve to have the highest quality education #leadccps
